A '''type''' (Japanese: '''タイプ''' ''Type'') is a property for {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and their [[move]]s. Each type has three properties: which types of Pokémon it is super effective against, which types of Pokémon it is not very effective against, and which types of Pokémon it is completely ineffective against. There are 17 types, each of which is listed to the right. During [[Generation I]], types were occasionally referred to as '''elements'''.
[[File:SV type mural.png|thumb|250px|The types as represented in {{g|Scarlet and Violet}}]]
'''Types''' (Japanese: '''タイプ''' ''Type'') are properties applied to {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} and their [[move]]s, which affect the power of moves in [[Pokémon battle|battle]]s. As of [[Generation IX]], there are 19 types, with 18 regular types and the special {{t|Stellar}} type. Most of the types were introduced during [[Generation I]], but the {{t|Dark}} and {{t|Steel}} types were introduced in [[Generation II]], the {{t|Fairy}} type was introduced in Generation VI, and the Stellar type was introduced in [[Generation IX]]. A unique {{t|???}} type also existed from Generations II to {{gen|IV}}. The types are largely based on the concept of classical elements in popular culture.


A Pokémon may have either one or two types. For instance, {{p|Charmander}} is a {{t|Fire}} type, while {{p|Bulbasaur}} is both a {{t|Grass}} type and a {{t|Poison}} type. With the current 17-type system, there are a possible 289 different type combinations; however, since order is unimportant, there are 153 effective type combinations. Currently there are 108 different type combinations. A move may have only one type.
==Terminology==
In Generation I, types were occasionally referred to as '''elements'''.


Within the {{pkmn|anime}} and the games, most [[Gym Leader]]s and members of the [[Elite Four]] are designed to have a [[Type specialist|type-specific theme]].
In the [[Pokémon Trivia Challenge]] minigame from [[Pokémon Masters Arena]], this was sometimes written as '''Type''' starting with a capital letter. For instance:
* ''"Which of the following Pokémon is the same '''Type''' as {{p|Marshtomp}}?"''


==Type effectiveness and pokemon HP==
==Summary==
{{main|Type chart}}
A Pokémon may have either one or two types. For instance, {{p|Charmander}} is a {{t|Fire}} type, while {{p|Bulbasaur}} is both a {{t|Grass}} type and a {{t|Poison}} type. Pokémon with two types are known as dual-type Pokémon. With this system and there currently being 18 types, there is a total of 324 possible ways to assign types to Pokémon, with 171 unique [[List of type combinations by abundance|combinations]], 162 of which have been used as of [[Generation IX]]. Similarly to Pokémon, [[Pokéstar Studios opponents]] also have types.
If the type of a move used by a Pokémon is strong against the opponent's type, then the damage done is twice the normal amount; if a move's type is weak against a specific type, then the damage done is half the normal damage done. Note that this effect is multiplied; e.g. if a move's type is strong against both of the opponent's types (such as {{m|Dig}}, a {{type|Ground}} move, on an {{p|Aggron}}, a {{2t|Steel|Rock}} Pokémon), then the move does 4 times the damage. If a move's type is not very effective against both of the opponent's types (such as {{m|Wake-Up Slap}}, a {{type|Fighting}} move, on a {{p|Sigilyph}}, a {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon), then the move does ¼ of the damage.


If a move's type is completely ineffective due the opposing Pokémon's type, then the damage done by the move is zero. Otherwise, the damage dealt will always be at least 1HP.sometimes, it doesent always finish the pokemon to 1hp or 0hp.
All moves have exactly one type each. The type of a damaging move typically determines which types of Pokémon it is super effective against, which types of Pokémon it is not very effective against, and which types of Pokémon it is completely ineffective against (with [[: Category:Moves that have special type effectiveness properties|very few exceptions]]). If the type of a move matches one of the types of the Pokémon using it, it gains a [[Same-type attack bonus|boost in power]].
 
Most [[Gym Leader]]s, [[Elite Four]] members, [[Trial Captain]]s, and [[island kahuna]]s have a [[Type expert|type-specific theme]].
 
The {{t|Stellar}} type is a special case, as no Pokémon or moves naturally bear it. However, a Pokémon can {{Tera}}stallize into the Stellar type, which can also change {{m|Tera Blast}} and {{m|Tera Starstorm}} into the type as well.
 
==List of types==
Each type is assigned a particular [[index number]] used to identify it within a particular game, such as the data structures defining the types of a Pokémon or move.
 
Prior to [[Generation IV]], a type's index number is also used to determine whether a move of that type deals [[Physical move|physical]] or [[Special move|special]] damage, with all types from the {{t|Fire}} type onward dealing special damage. In the Generation III games, a damaging {{type|???}} move would be treated as dealing neither physical nor special damage, and deal 2 base damage.
 
Value 6 in Generations I and II is the unused {{t|Bird}} type, which was removed in subsequent games. Values 9–19 (in Generation I) or 10–18 (in Generation II) are placeholders that display as "Normal". Values beyond the last defined entry may be used as the types of [[glitch Pokémon]] or [[glitch move]]s, and are known as [[glitch type]]s. Value 18 in Generation IX is used as a {{wp|Magic number (programming)|magic number}} to indicate that a Pokémon's Tera Type has not been changed from its original value.<ref>https://github.com/kwsch/PKHeX/blob/a02e4db09859eedd360da5a39fa55d9d8f52ecd0/PKHeX.Core/PKM/Interfaces/ITeraType.cs#L33</ref>

==Type effectiveness==
[[File:Sylveon vs Hydreigon.png|200px|thumb|{{p|Sylveon}} using {{m|Moonblast}} on {{p|Hydreigon}}. Since Hydreigon is a Dark/Dragon-dual type Pokemon, and both of its types are weak to Fairy-type (the typing of Moonblast), the attack will deal x4 super effective damage.]]
:''"Super effective" redirects here. For the webcomic, see [[Super Effective (webcomic)]].''
:''"It's super effective" redirects here. For the podcast, see [[It's Super Effective (podcast)]].''
:''"Weakness" and "Resistance" redirect here. For the TCG mechanics, see [[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Weakness|Appendix:Glossary (TCG) → Weakness]]'' and ''[[Appendix:Glossary (TCG)#Resistance|Appendix:Glossary (TCG) → Resistance]].''
 
Damaging moves typically vary in '''effectiveness''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}''' ''effectiveness'') depending on the move's type and the type(s) of its target.
 
Type effectiveness greatly influences how much [[damage]] moves deal:
* If the type of a move is '''super effective''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}はバツグン''' ''super effective'') against a type of its target, the damage is doubled;
* If the type of a move is '''not very effective''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}は{{ruby|今一|いまひと}}つ''' ''not very effective'') against a type of its target, the damage is halved;
* If the type of a move '''has no effect''' (Japanese: '''{{ruby|効果|こうか}}がない''' ''not effective'') against a type of its target, the target is completely immune to it, and the move will deal no damage.
 
For targets that have multiple types, the type effectiveness of a move is the product of its effectiveness against each of the types:
* If the type of a move is super effective against both of the opponent's types (such as a {{type|Ground}} move used against a {{2t|Steel|Rock}} Pokémon), then the move does 4 times (250% in Legends: Arceus) the damage.
* If the type of a move is not very effective against both of the opponent's types (such as a {{type|Fighting}} move used against a {{2t|Psychic|Flying}} Pokémon), then the move only does ¼ (40% in Legends: Arceus) of the damage.
* If the type of a move is super effective against one of the opponent's types but not very effective against the other (such as a {{type|Grass}} move used against a {{2t|Water|Flying}} Pokémon), then the move deals regular damage.
* If the type of a move is completely ineffective against one of the opponent's types, then the move does no damage regardless of how the Pokémon’s other type would be affected (as in an {{type|Electric}} move used against a {{2t|Water|Ground}} Pokémon).
* If the type of a move is neutral against on one of the opponent's type, then the move deals damage depends on how the Pokémon’s other type would be affected.
[[File:Bellibolt vs Quaxly HZ050.png|left|thumb|250px|Comparison between {{p|Quaxly}}'s type effectiveness compared to {{p|Bellibolt}} made by [[Dot]] in [[HZ050]].]]
[[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]] uses a different calculation for type effectiveness against multiple types:
* If the type of a move is super effective against both of the opponent's types, then the move does 2.5 times the damage (instead of 4).
* If the type of a move is not very effective against both of the opponent's types, then the move does 0.4 times the damage (instead of 0.25).
* Type effectiveness multipliers remain the same otherwise.
 
The moves {{m|Flying Press}}, {{m|Freeze-Dry}}, and {{m|Thousand Arrows}} have custom interactions with defending types and do not strictly obey the type chart. {{m|Foresight}}, {{m|Odor Sleuth}}, and {{m|Miracle Eye}} remove certain type immunities from their targets. {{type|Fire}} moves double in effectiveness against Pokémon affected by {{m|Tar Shot}}. {{cat|Moves that deal direct damage}} (including [[one-hit knockout move]]s) do not employ effectiveness, although since [[Generation II]] Pokémon are immune to them based on type interactions. Certain {{Abilities}}, [[held item]]s, or types of [[weather]] (such as {{a|Levitate}}, the [[Ring Target]], or [[strong winds]], respectively) may modify the effectiveness of specific types of moves.
 
[[Status move]]s typically do not employ type effectiveness. There are some exceptions; {{type|Ground}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Thunder Wave}} based on type interactions, and {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Glare}} based on type interactions in Generations {{gen|II}} and {{gen|III}} only. Furthermore, status moves may be unable to affect Pokémon based on type-related interactions other than effectiveness; for example, {{type|Poison}} Pokémon cannot be afflicted with {{status|poison}} and are thus unaffected by {{m|Poison Gas}}.
 
Different sounds are played depending on the effectiveness of a move, with super effective attacks having a different sound from the normal hit, and not very effective attacks also having a distinct sound. Moves with no effect do not play a sound at all.
 
===Type chart===
:''For type charts from previous generations, see [[Type/Type chart]]''
 
A '''type chart''', also known as '''type matchup chart''', shows which modifiers are applied to [[move]] types when attacking {{OBP|Pokémon|species}} of each type. If the defending Pokémon has two types, the two modifiers will be multiplied together: a {{type|Flying}} move would hit for 4× damage on a {{2t|Bug|Grass}} Pokémon, while a {{type|Ground}} move used against the same would do only a quarter of the regular damage. (A complete ineffectiveness against either type will make the move deal no damage, since 0 multiplied by any number is 0.)
 
The type chart differs depending on the [[generation]] of {{pkmn|games}} it is from. The type chart for [[Generation VI]] onward is shown below.

|}
 
In [[Inverse Battle]]s, a different type chart is used that essentially inverts the regular type chart, turning immunities and resistances into weaknesses, and weaknesses into resistances.
 
The {{t|Stellar}} type is super-effective against {{Tera}}stallized Pokémon, but is otherwise considered neutral against all types. It has no defensive properties at all, as a Stellar-type Pokémon will be treated as having its regular typing for defensive purposes.
 
===Dual-type damage misinformation glitch===
{{main|Dual-type damage misinformation}}
In [[Generation I]] only, if a damaging move is used on a Pokémon with two types such that one of its types is weak to the move and the other type resists the move, it will correctly receive neutral damage, but the incorrect message will be displayed on-screen. This does not occur in [[Pokémon Stadium]].


==Type-affected game mechanics==
==Type-affected game mechanics==
All games before [[Generation IV]] also made [[damage category|a distinction]] between [[Physical move|physical]] and [[special move]]s based on their type; as of Generation IV, this is dependent on the move itself.
Prior to [[Generation IV]], the [[damage category|category]] of damaging moves only depends on the move's type; for example, all {{type|Normal}} damaging moves are [[physical move]]s and all {{type|Water}} damaging moves are [[special move]]s. From [[Generation IV]] onward, each individual move has a [[damage category]] that is independent of its type.
 
When the type of a move matches one of the types of the Pokémon using it, the attack power will be increased by 50%. This is referred to as [[same-type attack bonus]], or STAB for short. As an example, an {{p|Aron}} that knows the {{type|Steel}} move {{m|Metal Claw}} will have the move's power increased by 50% because one of Aron's types is Steel; the power of {{m|Cut}} would not be increased as Normal is not one of Aron's types.
 
Some Pokémon types are immune to certain status moves or effects. For example, {{type|Grass}} Pokémon are immune to {{m|Leech Seed}}, and {{type|Ice}} Pokémon are not damaged by {{weather|Hail}}.
 
Some moves, field effects, {{Abilities}}, and [[held item]]s affect moves of a certain type. {{m|Sunny Day}}, for example, causes {{type|Fire}} moves to increase in power, while {{a|Levitate}} causes {{type|Ground}} moves to not work on the Pokémon with this Ability. Likewise, each type has a [[Type-enhancing item|specific held item]] that can be given to a Pokémon that will power up one of the specific types by 20% (or 10%, prior to Generation IV), such as the [[Metal Coat]] for {{type|Steel}} moves.
 
Some moves and Abilities can temporarily [[type change|change a Pokémon's type]] in battle. For example, the move {{m|Camouflage}} changes the user's type to a type corresponding to the battlefield terrain. Some type-changing Abilities include {{a|Color Change}}, {{a|Multitype}}, {{a|Protean}}, {{a|RKS System}}, and {{a|Libero}}.
 
Additionally, the type of {{cat|moves that change type|some moves}} may depend on the circumstances they are used in; for example, {{m|Weather Ball}} may be Fire-, Water-, Ice-, Rock-, or Normal-type depending on the [[weather]] it is used in. Additionally, there are {{cat|Abilities that can modify move types}} as well as exactly three moves: ({{m|Electrify}}, {{m|Ion Deluge}}, and {{m|Plasma Fists}}).
 
When a Pokémon has two types, those two types are always listed in an order specific to the Pokémon. This order is mostly aesthetic, but it affects {{m|Present}} in [[Generation II]], {{m|Revelation Dance}}, and two moves in [[Pokémon Legends: Arceus]]: {{m|Hidden Power}} and {{m|Judgment}}.
 
[[Terastal phenomenon|Terastallizing]] can change a Pokémon's type to any single type, which will also change the type of the move {{m|Tera Blast}}.
 
===Typeless===
[[File:Struggle IV.png|frame|{{m|Struggle}}, a {{type|Normal}} move, dealing typeless damage to {{p|Gastly}}]]
There are situations where Pokémon or moves behave as if they were typeless, unable to receive {{STAB}} and boosts from [[type-enhancing item]]s or {{cat|type-enhancing Abilities|Abilities}}. This is most commonly possible through effects that make one lose a type, such as {{m|Burn Up}}, {{m|Roost}}, and {{m|Double Shock}}. Typeless Pokémon take regular damage from all moves, and typeless moves deal regular damage against all Pokémon.
 
{{m|Struggle}} acts typelessly from [[Generation II]] onward. The move {{m|Weather Ball}} acts typelessly under [[shadowy aura]], and the move {{m|Revelation Dance}} acts typelessly if used by a typeless user. {{m|Beat Up}}, {{m|Future Sight}}, and {{m|Doom Desire}} deal typeless damage before [[Generation V]].
 
Prior to [[Generation V]], typeless damage will ignore {{a|Wonder Guard}}. From Generation V onwards, typeless moves are blocked by Wonder Guard, with the exception of {{m|Struggle}}.
 
A typeless Pokémon has no types displayed on its battle summary.

==Icons==
[[File:Diantha Champion Room.png|thumb|250px|Type icons in the {{DL|Pokémon League (Kalos)|Radiant Chamber}}]]
In [[Generation]]s {{gen|I}} and {{gen|II}}, the [[core series]] games just used the type's name, with the only icons being in [[Pokémon Stadium series]] games.
 
In {{g|GO}}, icons were introduced to represent each of the types during gameplay. Very similar icons were later adopted into the core series, starting with {{g|Sun and Moon}} and then following up with the subsequent core series games and {{g|HOME}}.
 
Some alternate icons associated with types appeared before. In {{g|X and Y}}, the floor of the {{kal|Pokémon League}}'s Radiant Chamber features a set of type icons as decoration. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, each type was given a symbol placed on [[Z-Crystal]]s.
 
===Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!, Sword, and Shield===
These type icons were also used in {{g|HOME}} prior to the update for {{g|Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl}}.

Immunities provided from Abilities or moves, such as {{a|Levitate}} or {{m|Magnet Rise}}, are still 0×. Type matchups that would usually be immunities are instead announced as “It had little effect…”
 
In [[Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon]] and [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX]], moves that are ineffective in the core series are now ineffective as well (0× damage).
 
===Pokémon Ranger series===
In the [[Pokémon Ranger series]], each Pokémon has a group, equivalent to a type in the core series. The effectiveness of [[Poké Assist]]s on [[wild Pokémon]] is dependent on the Pokémon's group.
 
===Pokémon Rumble series===
In the [[Pokémon Rumble series]], the type effectiveness chart differs from the equivalent type chart in contemporaneous core series games. Moves that are ineffective in the core series deal 0.6× damage instead, moves that would be not very effective against one or both of the target's types deal ~0.8× or ~0.7× damage, respectively, and moves that would be super effective against one or both of the target's types deal ~1.2× and ~1.4× damage, respectively. <!--These calculations were only checked in Rumble World.-->
 
===Pokémon Battrio===
{{main|Type (Battrio)}}
Pokémon in [[Pokémon Battrio]] all have one type in line with one of their types in the core games. Battrio also includes two unique types exclusively for {{p|Arceus}}, the Full Plate and Eleven-Plate types.
 
Pokémon Battrio's type effectiveness chart is also unique, with different possible strengths for weaknesses or resistances. For example, while Grass-type Pokémon are weak to both Ice- and Fire-type moves, they are weaker to Fire-type moves than to Ice-type moves.
 
Players with a [[Pokémon Battrio#Memory Keys|Memory Key]] can also gain experience towards different types that will level up their {{DL|Type (Battrio)|Type Levels}}, granting Pokémon of that type a bonus in Attack or HP.
 
===Pokémon Shuffle===
{{main|Pokémon Shuffle#Type|Pokémon Shuffle → Type}}
Pokémon in [[Pokémon Shuffle]] each only have one type. Pokémon Shuffle's type effectiveness chart is also slightly different than the contemporaneous Generation VI chart, with 0× effectivenesses turned into ½× effectiveness.
 
Type is also used to determine immunity to certain [[status condition#Pokémon Shuffle|status conditions]].
 
===Pokémon Quest===
Pokémon have types (either one or two, as normal), and moves have types, but there are no type advantages in [[Pokémon Quest]]. Types still serve several roles, usually through matching a prompted type. When Pokémon use moves of the same type they are, the move deals additional damage. Certain [[Bingo Bonus|bingo bonuses]] increase the Attack of moves of a specified type that the Pokémon knows, or reduces the Wait of those moves. There are also bingo bonuses that reduce oncoming damage of a specific type.
 
Each of the game's [[Tumblecube Island|areas]] has a bonus Type. When playing a stage of that area, the player's Pokemon of that Type get a boost to their [[HP]] and [[Attack]].
 
Level-Up Training provides increased [[Exp]] to the Training Pokémon if the Training Pokémon and the Supporting Pokémon share a type. Similarly, Move Learning Training has a higher success rate for changing the Training Pokémon's moves when the Training Pokémon and the Supporting Pokémon share a type.


When the type of an attack corresponds with one of the types of the Pokémon using it, the attack power will be increased by 50%. This type advantage is referred to as [[same-type attack bonus]], or STAB for short. A good example is an {{p|Aron}} that knows {{m|Metal Claw}} and {{m|Cut}}. Both attacks are physical attacks and both have a base power of 50. However because Aron is a {{2t|Steel|Rock}} Pokémon, the power of its Metal Claw move will effectively be 75.
Most of the game's [[Cooking (Quest)|dishes]] attract Pokémon with a specific type to the {{OBP|base camp|Quest}}, allowing the player to [[Caught Pokémon|befriend]] them. The dish is themed to match the type in question. For example, the Honey Nectar à la Cube is the favorite food of {{type|Bug}} Pokémon, and the Get Swole Syrup à la Cube is the favorite food of {{type|Fighting}} Pokémon. While there are eighteen different dishes, equal to the number of types, six of them attract Pokémon based on qualities that are not type. This means that {{t|Dark}}, {{t|Steel}}, {{t|Fairy}}, {{t|Ghost}}, {{t|Dragon}}, and {{t|Ice}} all do not have an associated dish.


Some [[weather conditions]], [[Ability|Abilities]], and [[held item]]s affect moves of a certain type. {{m|Sunny Day}}, for example, causes {{type|Fire}} moves to increase in power, while {{a|Levitate}} causes {{type|Ground}} moves to not work on the Pokémon with this Ability. Likewise, each type has a [[Type-enhancing item|specific item]] that can be given to a Pokémon to hold that will power up one of the specific types, such as the [[Metal Coat]], which powers up {{type|Steel}} moves by 20% (10% prior to Generation IV).
Some Challenge Quests relate to Pokémon types, tasking the player with defeating Pokémon of specific types and befriending Pokémon of specific types. One group of Quests is about going on expeditions with teams where all three Pokémon have a specific type.


==??? type==
===Pokémon GO===
The ??? type is the only type to have been removed from the [[Version|main series]] games. The ??? type only existed from [[Generation II]] to [[Generation IV]], and was primarily used as the type of the the move {{m|Curse}}. It was removed in [[Generation V]], and Curse changed to a {{type|Ghost}} move.
In [[Pokémon GO]], type effectiveness multipliers differ from the core series games, but using the same type effectiveness chart.


==Shadow==
The multiplier for Pokémon GO is 1.6<sup>n</sup> (1.4 prior to December 12, 2018 and 1.25 prior to June 21, 2017). The exponent ''n'' starts at 0, with weakness adding 1, resistance substracting 1, and an immunity being equal to a double resistance, subtracting 2.
While not generally regarded as a type, [[Shadow move]]s have their type listed as "------". [[Shadow Pokémon]] can be considered to be of this type, but they still retain their regular typing as well. In {{Pokémon XD}}, Shadow moves are super effective against non-Shadow Pokémon and not very effective against Shadow Pokémon.


==Glitch types==
As such, the following multipliers are possible:
{{main|List of glitch types}}
{| class="roundy" style="background: #ddf; border: 5px solid #ccf"
There are several glitch types, such as the {{t|Bird}} type, which only appear through the use of glitches. Other than the Bird type, glitch types are the result of the game reading other data as if it were types. The Bird type was programmed into the code of the Generation I and II games, but was not given to any real Pokémon; however, several [[glitch Pokémon]] use this type.

===Pokémon Masters EX===
Each Pokémon in [[Pokémon Masters EX]] is assigned with a singular type and one type that Pokémon is weak against, regardless of how many weaknesses it has in the core series games. Mostly these types and weaknesses follow the core series; the only exceptions to these are {{mas|Pryce}}'s {{p|Seel}} (which is classified as an {{t|Ice}} type, despite being a pure {{t|Water}} type in the core series) and {{mas|Barry}}'s {{p|Empoleon}} (which is weak against {{t|Grass}}, despite not being weak to it in the core series games). Different Pokémon of the same species can have a different type or weakness, depending on which Trainer it belongs to.
 
===Pokémon UNITE===
There are no type advantages in [[Pokémon UNITE]]. However, Pokémon types are sometimes acknowledged in-game. The limited time {{DL|Mer Stadium|Full-Burst Battle! Dragon Dustup}} event is themed entirely around {{t|Dragon}} types, with every [[wild Pokémon]] being one except for {{p|Swablu}}, the pre-evolution of the Dragon-type {{p|Altaria}}. This event only allows players to use Pokémon that are Dragon-type. The related Dragon Carnival event is also fully Dragon themed, rewarding players for collecting and using the Dragon types on the roster.
 
===Pokémon Sleep===
Pokémon in [[Pokémon Sleep]] each only have one type. Types in Pokémon Sleep are solely used to determine the {{Berries}} that the Pokémon may gather, as follows. Types should not be confused with [[sleep type]]s.

{{main|Type (TCG)}}
There are eleven types in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]], significantly fewer than in other Pokémon media. Because of the smaller number of types, Pokémon often have different types in the TCG to other Pokémon media. Due to the fact that Pokémon in the TCG can usually only have one type, dual-type Pokémon often have different cards which correspond to the Pokémon's two different types, since type is a property of the individual card and not the species. In the TCG, moves do not have their own type. Instead, for {{TCG|Weakness}} and {{TCG|Resistance}}, the type of the Pokémon card is used instead.

If you were looking for the property of a Pokémon called type in The Official Pokémon Handbook, see Pokémon category.

Types

The types as represented in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet

Types (Japanese: タイプ Type) are properties applied to Pokémon and their moves, which affect the power of moves in battles. As of Generation IX, there are 19 types, with 18 regular types and the special Stellar type. Most of the types were introduced during Generation I, but the Dark and Steel types were introduced in Generation II, the Fairy type was introduced in Generation VI, and the Stellar type was introduced in Generation IX. A unique ??? type also existed from Generations II to IV. The types are largely based on the concept of classical elements in popular culture.

Terminology

In Generation I, types were occasionally referred to as elements.

In the Pokémon Trivia Challenge minigame from Pokémon Masters Arena, this was sometimes written as Type starting with a capital letter. For instance:

  • "Which of the following Pokémon is the same Type as Marshtomp?"

Summary

A Pokémon may have either one or two types. For instance, Charmander is a Fire type, while Bulbasaur is both a Grass type and a Poison type. Pokémon with two types are known as dual-type Pokémon. With this system and there currently being 18 types, there is a total of 324 possible ways to assign types to Pokémon, with 171 unique combinations, 162 of which have been used as of Generation IX. Similarly to Pokémon, Pokéstar Studios opponents also have types.

All moves have exactly one type each. The type of a damaging move typically determines which types of Pokémon it is super effective against, which types of Pokémon it is not very effective against, and which types of Pokémon it is completely ineffective against (with very few exceptions). If the type of a move matches one of the types of the Pokémon using it, it gains a boost in power.

Most Gym Leaders, Elite Four members, Trial Captains, and island kahunas have a type-specific theme.

The Stellar type is a special case, as no Pokémon or moves naturally bear it. However, a Pokémon can Terastallize into the Stellar type, which can also change Tera Blast and Tera Starstorm into the type as well.

List of types

Each type is assigned a particular index number used to identify it within a particular game, such as the data structures defining the types of a Pokémon or move.

Prior to Generation IV, a type's index number is also used to determine whether a move of that type deals physical or special damage, with all types from the Fire type onward dealing special damage. In the Generation III games, a damaging ???-type move would be treated as dealing neither physical nor special damage, and deal 2 base damage.

Value 6 in Generations I and II is the unused Bird type, which was removed in subsequent games. Values 9–19 (in Generation I) or 10–18 (in Generation II) are placeholders that display as "Normal". Values beyond the last defined entry may be used as the types of glitch Pokémon or glitch moves, and are known as glitch types. Value 18 in Generation IX is used as a magic number to indicate that a Pokémon's Tera Type has not been changed from its original value.[1]

Type effectiveness

Sylveon using Moonblast on Hydreigon. Since Hydreigon is a Dark/Dragon-dual type Pokemon, and both of its types are weak to Fairy-type (the typing of Moonblast), the attack will deal x4 super effective damage.
"Super effective" redirects here. For the webcomic, see Super Effective (webcomic).
"It's super effective" redirects here. For the podcast, see It's Super Effective (podcast).
"Weakness" and "Resistance" redirect here. For the TCG mechanics, see Appendix:Glossary (TCG) → Weakness and Appendix:Glossary (TCG) → Resistance.

Damaging moves typically vary in effectiveness (Japanese: 効果(こうか) effectiveness) depending on the move's type and the type(s) of its target.

Type effectiveness greatly influences how much damage moves deal:

  • If the type of a move is super effective (Japanese: 効果(こうか)はバツグン super effective) against a type of its target, the damage is doubled;
  • If the type of a move is not very effective (Japanese: 効果(こうか)は今一(いまひと)つ not very effective) against a type of its target, the damage is halved;
  • If the type of a move has no effect (Japanese: 効果(こうか)がない not effective) against a type of its target, the target is completely immune to it, and the move will deal no damage.

For targets that have multiple types, the type effectiveness of a move is the product of its effectiveness against each of the types:

  • If the type of a move is super effective against both of the opponent's types (such as a Ground-type move used against a Steel/Rock Pokémon), then the move does 4 times (250% in Legends: Arceus) the damage.
  • If the type of a move is not very effective against both of the opponent's types (such as a Fighting-type move used against a Psychic/Flying Pokémon), then the move only does ¼ (40% in Legends: Arceus) of the damage.
  • If the type of a move is super effective against one of the opponent's types but not very effective against the other (such as a Grass-type move used against a Water/Flying Pokémon), then the move deals regular damage.
  • If the type of a move is completely ineffective against one of the opponent's types, then the move does no damage regardless of how the Pokémon’s other type would be affected (as in an Electric-type move used against a Water/Ground Pokémon).
  • If the type of a move is neutral against on one of the opponent's type, then the move deals damage depends on how the Pokémon’s other type would be affected.
Comparison between Quaxly's type effectiveness compared to Bellibolt made by Dot in HZ050.

Pokémon Legends: Arceus uses a different calculation for type effectiveness against multiple types:

  • If the type of a move is super effective against both of the opponent's types, then the move does 2.5 times the damage (instead of 4).
  • If the type of a move is not very effective against both of the opponent's types, then the move does 0.4 times the damage (instead of 0.25).
  • Type effectiveness multipliers remain the same otherwise.

The moves Flying Press, Freeze-Dry, and Thousand Arrows have custom interactions with defending types and do not strictly obey the type chart. Foresight, Odor Sleuth, and Miracle Eye remove certain type immunities from their targets. Fire-type moves double in effectiveness against Pokémon affected by Tar Shot. Moves that deal direct damage (including one-hit knockout moves) do not employ effectiveness, although since Generation II Pokémon are immune to them based on type interactions. Certain Abilities, held items, or types of weather (such as Levitate, the Ring Target, or strong winds, respectively) may modify the effectiveness of specific types of moves.

Status moves typically do not employ type effectiveness. There are some exceptions; Ground-type Pokémon are immune to Thunder Wave based on type interactions, and Ghost-type Pokémon are immune to Glare based on type interactions in Generations II and III only. Furthermore, status moves may be unable to affect Pokémon based on type-related interactions other than effectiveness; for example, Poison-type Pokémon cannot be afflicted with poison and are thus unaffected by Poison Gas.

Different sounds are played depending on the effectiveness of a move, with super effective attacks having a different sound from the normal hit, and not very effective attacks also having a distinct sound. Moves with no effect do not play a sound at all.

Type chart

For type charts from previous generations, see Type/Type chart

A type chart, also known as type matchup chart, shows which modifiers are applied to move types when attacking Pokémon of each type. If the defending Pokémon has two types, the two modifiers will be multiplied together: a Flying-type move would hit for 4× damage on a Bug/Grass Pokémon, while a Ground-type move used against the same would do only a quarter of the regular damage. (A complete ineffectiveness against either type will make the move deal no damage, since 0 multiplied by any number is 0.)

The type chart differs depending on the generation of games it is from. The type chart for Generation VI onward is shown below.

These matchups are suitable for Generation VI onward.

In Inverse Battles, a different type chart is used that essentially inverts the regular type chart, turning immunities and resistances into weaknesses, and weaknesses into resistances.

The Stellar type is super-effective against Terastallized Pokémon, but is otherwise considered neutral against all types. It has no defensive properties at all, as a Stellar-type Pokémon will be treated as having its regular typing for defensive purposes.

Dual-type damage misinformation glitch

Main article: Dual-type damage misinformation

In Generation I only, if a damaging move is used on a Pokémon with two types such that one of its types is weak to the move and the other type resists the move, it will correctly receive neutral damage, but the incorrect message will be displayed on-screen. This does not occur in Pokémon Stadium.

Type-affected game mechanics

Prior to Generation IV, the category of damaging moves only depends on the move's type; for example, all Normal-type damaging moves are physical moves and all Water-type damaging moves are special moves. From Generation IV onward, each individual move has a damage category that is independent of its type.

When the type of a move matches one of the types of the Pokémon using it, the attack power will be increased by 50%. This is referred to as same-type attack bonus, or STAB for short. As an example, an Aron that knows the Steel-type move Metal Claw will have the move's power increased by 50% because one of Aron's types is Steel; the power of Cut would not be increased as Normal is not one of Aron's types.

Some Pokémon types are immune to certain status moves or effects. For example, Grass-type Pokémon are immune to Leech Seed, and Ice-type Pokémon are not damaged by Hail.

Some moves, field effects, Abilities, and held items affect moves of a certain type. Sunny Day, for example, causes Fire-type moves to increase in power, while Levitate causes Ground-type moves to not work on the Pokémon with this Ability. Likewise, each type has a specific held item that can be given to a Pokémon that will power up one of the specific types by 20% (or 10%, prior to Generation IV), such as the Metal Coat for Steel-type moves.

Some moves and Abilities can temporarily change a Pokémon's type in battle. For example, the move Camouflage changes the user's type to a type corresponding to the battlefield terrain. Some type-changing Abilities include Color Change, Multitype, Protean, RKS System, and Libero.

Additionally, the type of some moves may depend on the circumstances they are used in; for example, Weather Ball may be Fire-, Water-, Ice-, Rock-, or Normal-type depending on the weather it is used in. Additionally, there are Abilities that can modify move types as well as exactly three moves: (Electrify, Ion Deluge, and Plasma Fists).

When a Pokémon has two types, those two types are always listed in an order specific to the Pokémon. This order is mostly aesthetic, but it affects Present in Generation II, Revelation Dance, and two moves in Pokémon Legends: Arceus: Hidden Power and Judgment.

Terastallizing can change a Pokémon's type to any single type, which will also change the type of the move Tera Blast.

Typeless

Struggle, a Normal-type move, dealing typeless damage to Gastly

There are situations where Pokémon or moves behave as if they were typeless, unable to receive STAB and boosts from type-enhancing items or Abilities. This is most commonly possible through effects that make one lose a type, such as Burn Up, Roost, and Double Shock. Typeless Pokémon take regular damage from all moves, and typeless moves deal regular damage against all Pokémon.

Struggle acts typelessly from Generation II onward. The move Weather Ball acts typelessly under shadowy aura, and the move Revelation Dance acts typelessly if used by a typeless user. Beat Up, Future Sight, and Doom Desire deal typeless damage before Generation V.

Prior to Generation V, typeless damage will ignore Wonder Guard. From Generation V onwards, typeless moves are blocked by Wonder Guard, with the exception of Struggle.

A typeless Pokémon has no types displayed on its battle summary.

Icons

Type icons in the Radiant Chamber

In Generations I and II, the core series games just used the type's name, with the only icons being in Pokémon Stadium series games.

In Pokémon GO, icons were introduced to represent each of the types during gameplay. Very similar icons were later adopted into the core series, starting with Pokémon Sun and Moon and then following up with the subsequent core series games and Pokémon HOME.

Some alternate icons associated with types appeared before. In Pokémon X and Y, the floor of the Pokémon League's Radiant Chamber features a set of type icons as decoration. In Pokémon Sun and Moon, each type was given a symbol placed on Z-Crystals.

Pokémon Let's Go, Pikachu!, Let's Go, Eevee!, Sword, and Shield

These type icons were also used in Pokémon HOME prior to the update for Pokémon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

In the spin-off games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Main article: Damage modification (Mystery Dungeon)

In Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team and Blue Rescue Team, the matchup multipliers are 0.5×, 0.9×, 1× and 1.5×. In Explorers of Time, Darkness and Sky, the multipliers have been changed to 0.5×, 0.7×, 1× and 1.4×; if either the attacker or the defender has Erratic Player IQ skill, they are 0.25×, 0.5×, 1× and 1.7×, instead. Immunities provided from Abilities or moves, such as Levitate or Magnet Rise, are still 0×. Type matchups that would usually be immunities are instead announced as “It had little effect…”

In Pokémon Super Mystery Dungeon and Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX, moves that are ineffective in the core series are now ineffective as well (0× damage).

Pokémon Ranger series

In the Pokémon Ranger series, each Pokémon has a group, equivalent to a type in the core series. The effectiveness of Poké Assists on wild Pokémon is dependent on the Pokémon's group.

Pokémon Rumble series

In the Pokémon Rumble series, the type effectiveness chart differs from the equivalent type chart in contemporaneous core series games. Moves that are ineffective in the core series deal 0.6× damage instead, moves that would be not very effective against one or both of the target's types deal ~0.8× or ~0.7× damage, respectively, and moves that would be super effective against one or both of the target's types deal ~1.2× and ~1.4× damage, respectively.

Pokémon Battrio

Main article: Type (Battrio)

Pokémon in Pokémon Battrio all have one type in line with one of their types in the core games. Battrio also includes two unique types exclusively for Arceus, the Full Plate and Eleven-Plate types.

Pokémon Battrio's type effectiveness chart is also unique, with different possible strengths for weaknesses or resistances. For example, while Grass-type Pokémon are weak to both Ice- and Fire-type moves, they are weaker to Fire-type moves than to Ice-type moves.

Players with a Memory Key can also gain experience towards different types that will level up their Type Levels, granting Pokémon of that type a bonus in Attack or HP.

Pokémon Shuffle

Main article: Pokémon Shuffle → Type

Pokémon in Pokémon Shuffle each only have one type. Pokémon Shuffle's type effectiveness chart is also slightly different than the contemporaneous Generation VI chart, with 0× effectivenesses turned into ½× effectiveness.

Type is also used to determine immunity to certain status conditions.

Pokémon Quest

Pokémon have types (either one or two, as normal), and moves have types, but there are no type advantages in Pokémon Quest. Types still serve several roles, usually through matching a prompted type. When Pokémon use moves of the same type they are, the move deals additional damage. Certain bingo bonuses increase the Attack of moves of a specified type that the Pokémon knows, or reduces the Wait of those moves. There are also bingo bonuses that reduce oncoming damage of a specific type.

Each of the game's areas has a bonus Type. When playing a stage of that area, the player's Pokemon of that Type get a boost to their HP and Attack.

Level-Up Training provides increased Exp to the Training Pokémon if the Training Pokémon and the Supporting Pokémon share a type. Similarly, Move Learning Training has a higher success rate for changing the Training Pokémon's moves when the Training Pokémon and the Supporting Pokémon share a type.

Most of the game's dishes attract Pokémon with a specific type to the base camp, allowing the player to befriend them. The dish is themed to match the type in question. For example, the Honey Nectar à la Cube is the favorite food of Bug-type Pokémon, and the Get Swole Syrup à la Cube is the favorite food of Fighting-type Pokémon. While there are eighteen different dishes, equal to the number of types, six of them attract Pokémon based on qualities that are not type. This means that Dark, Steel, Fairy, Ghost, Dragon, and Ice all do not have an associated dish.

Some Challenge Quests relate to Pokémon types, tasking the player with defeating Pokémon of specific types and befriending Pokémon of specific types. One group of Quests is about going on expeditions with teams where all three Pokémon have a specific type.

Pokémon GO

In Pokémon GO, type effectiveness multipliers differ from the core series games, but using the same type effectiveness chart.

The multiplier for Pokémon GO is 1.6n (1.4 prior to December 12, 2018 and 1.25 prior to June 21, 2017). The exponent n starts at 0, with weakness adding 1, resistance substracting 1, and an immunity being equal to a double resistance, subtracting 2.

As such, the following multipliers are possible:

Type effectiveness Multiplier
Doubly super effective ×2.56
Super effective ×1.6
Neutral ×1
Resisted ×0.625
Doubly resisted ×0.390625
Triply resisted* ×0.244140625

Pokémon Masters EX

Each Pokémon in Pokémon Masters EX is assigned with a singular type and one type that Pokémon is weak against, regardless of how many weaknesses it has in the core series games. Mostly these types and weaknesses follow the core series; the only exceptions to these are Pryce's Seel (which is classified as an Ice type, despite being a pure Water type in the core series) and Barry's Empoleon (which is weak against Grass, despite not being weak to it in the core series games). Different Pokémon of the same species can have a different type or weakness, depending on which Trainer it belongs to.

Pokémon UNITE

There are no type advantages in Pokémon UNITE. However, Pokémon types are sometimes acknowledged in-game. The limited time Full-Burst Battle! Dragon Dustup event is themed entirely around Dragon types, with every wild Pokémon being one except for Swablu, the pre-evolution of the Dragon-type Altaria. This event only allows players to use Pokémon that are Dragon-type. The related Dragon Carnival event is also fully Dragon themed, rewarding players for collecting and using the Dragon types on the roster.

Pokémon Sleep

Pokémon in Pokémon Sleep each only have one type. Types in Pokémon Sleep are solely used to determine the Berries that the Pokémon may gather, as follows. Types should not be confused with sleep types.

In the TCG

Main article: Type (TCG)

There are eleven types in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, significantly fewer than in other Pokémon media. Because of the smaller number of types, Pokémon often have different types in the TCG to other Pokémon media. Due to the fact that Pokémon in the TCG can usually only have one type, dual-type Pokémon often have different cards which correspond to the Pokémon's two different types, since type is a property of the individual card and not the species. In the TCG, moves do not have their own type. Instead, for Weakness and Resistance, the type of the Pokémon card is used instead.
